I'm sure this is a lame question for all the veterans..and its probably been asked a bazillion times (but I dont know how to search that either) sooo...how do I bump a thread back to the top?
You can stop laughing at me now

Believe it or not, there do still exist (I think anyway, I haven't been there in a while) some forums where the posts are ordered by the first post in a thread, and not the last post. So "bumping" has no meaning there.
